I was wondering if anyone stores material in shipping containers. I was recently approved to be a distributor for moulding and hardwoods. I am moving forward with the building addition to accommodate that but that is a lot of nice footage to store product that i would like to keep for shop space . So in my thinking shipping containers would let me keep my new shop space. I know there are condensation problems with containers and trying to figure how to deal with that. I think the issue is manly MDFU as much as I hate it, it is the trend here, The other line I got was Bodyguard which will be more stable than MDF. Containers are cheap to buy and I have the room, but I have to eliminate the condensation issue. Any Thoughts?
Thank you as always,
Glen

Re: Felder K975 arbor bearing
I just checked my old F7 spindles and all have zerks too.? Good info on the nut.? They are common enough that you don't need to buy from Felder.? I'm remembering $5 or less but don't remember how long ago that was.? Dave

Dave just for reference all my 2011 F700Z spindles 30mm, 1 1/4" and the router spindle have zerks. I think Felder went all sealed bearing for shapers and JPs around 2015. When I was in the trade we typically reused the nut if it was in good
shape and just added a couple of drops of blue loctite. Proper torque is the most important thing.

There are two bearings in the 1 1/4" shaper spindle. I do not think you can use a grease gun to pump the grease into it, cause there is no zerk.
I think the top bearing can be removed after unscrewing the ring above it, the bottom bearing can be removed by removing the cap below it.

There are two bearings in the 1 1/4" shaper spindle. I do not think you can use a grease gun to pump the grease into it, cause there is no zerk.
I think the top bearing can be removed after unscrewing the ring above it, the bottom bearing can be removed by removing the cap below it.

David,
This is the 1 1/4" spindle on 2017 KF700.? I have no clue how to lubricate this bearing.

I never did any maintenance on my KF700 and AD741 for 3+ years.?
So I bought grease and tried to lubricate the bearings, then I found out all the bearings on shaper spindle, saw and AD741 are sealed.?
Only maintenance needed is to lubricate the height adjustment spindle for the planer table, shaper and saw blade.
It is very difficult to get access to the saw height adjustment spindle, I bought the Felder spindle fluid, spray fluid on the small portion of the spindle I can see.

Looks like lack of proper lubrication over time did them in. At least with the new setup you won't have to worry about maintenance. Like Mac stated earlier about sealed bearings, expected life span of at least 10 years with normal use.?

Subject: [FOG] Felder K975 arbor bearing
The main blade arbor bearings went out on my K975 and had a new, improved version put in by the Felder tech Jason.? The bearings on the new arbor shaft are a lot beefier and sealed, unlike the bearings on the original shaft, which were not sealed.? The bearing
really got burned up as you can see from the pictures.? It didn't take long really to get the old arbor out, maybe 30 minutes.? The new arbor and how it's designed will allow me to swap out the bearings much easier than the old style and I won't need a tech
to do it either, that's the beauty of the new design.? I forgot to take pictures of the new arbor, but will ask Felder to send me a few

Re: Joe in New Orleans is selling everything in his shop
Joe,
I received your private email and you are first in line for the CF731P.
I will break up the cocobolo. but no less than 100 bd/ft.
I will also send photos of the cocobolo as the low price is because there are defects and some boards have the pith. ?These are things that can be worked around. ? The piece are all pretty large.

Hi Joe, Hope all is well. I will take the CF731 and a couple hundred board feet of the Cocobolo (if you end up breaking up the lot). Shiping would be to Maryland.? You can email me at jkurtz505 at gmail. Thanks Joe Kurtz

If it is not on the list it has already been sold.
